ON THE EDGE

wow!  Finals are over but that isn’t important what is is the move of God starting. God is about to do something amazing. We are on the edge. There is a revival that started  in Lakeland Florida it was just suppose to be a service and it been going on for 40 days. The presence of God has been amazing. people have been healed, of blindness, tumors, cancersand not just people there but people have claimed healing for others who aren’t there and God’s power has been working through media - TV, internet, txt message ect. It on everynight live podcast at Freshfire from 7 or 8-10
My family and I have been watching it for the past few nights, the presence of God even in our living room has been amazing.

 

Birthday…your 21!?!?

Yep its my birthday!

well, its official I am no longer a kid/teenager. I will be an adult for the rest of my life. Its really weird part of me feels like I should be older/and part of me feels like I should be younger, but time is funny that way. So yea for the record I am 21 not 12…sorry its a joke- everyone thinks I am in highschool and usually tries to mask their surprise when they find out I am a junior in college not a junior in highschool , but hey just means I look younger when I get older - a plus right! This may be why college guys ignore me…..they think I am a minor lol just kidding!

Speaking of this here’s a funny fact: So I as many of you know I am graphic design major (promise the website is getting a total revamp this summer to actually reflect me as a designer, ok back to the story) so I need a lot of supplies that most people don’t for school -  black board, spray paint, rubber cement ( I use this stuff to mount all of my projects to boards) ect. well you have to be 18 to buy both spray paint and rubber cement - yea 3/4 times I go to the store they ask to see my license to make sure I am 18. :-) 

So thanks everyone for your birthday wishes! Life wouldn’t be anything if I didn’t share it with all of you amazing people. I love you all! We will have to celebrate after finals…..I got to go study!

 

Finally: finals and b-day

Ok so I know its been a while… like a month but i promise there will be many more updates now that I am only 5 days from being done with finals. Also my birthday is in 4 days. Sad isn’t it that one has to spend their birthday studying for a final exam ( 51 pages of notes to be exact). But stay tuned cuz I have a lot of cool stuff to get updated on and God is going to be doing some amazing stuff this summer. Hope you guys have a great week  and please forgive me for being such a slacker.

 

sorry….

Sorry Blog world things have been crazy with school, church, and life. But I will definitely have a post coming soon. Keep me in your prayers- I did something to my shoulder and am now in some serious pain, I can’t make it to the Chiropractor until tomorrow, hopefully he will be able to help me.

 

Homeschooling….illegal?

Ok so apparently homeschooling might become illegal in California unless you have teaching credentials. That is just crazy. I don’t think I ever mentioned it, but I am proud to say that I was homeschooled k-12 grades. Props to my amazing parents for all they sacrificed to give me such a great education.  I can honestly say that I am a very rounded person. I know how to interact with people of all ages.  And as for the educational side of things, I usually don’t talk about it, but I am now a junior in college with a 3.92 gpa.  I think whatever my parents did worked.  So wether you homeschooled or not, as American’s we should have the right to decide. Sign the petition to overturn this judges ruling.

Class moment

So today Alice was totally goofing off in class behind our teachers back- she was really bored for some reason. So she decided to create a balancing tower out of all her pens, packaging replicas, and her water bottle.

  

She is totally being silly here. She had her interpreters trying not to laugh. The best part was the whole thing came crashing down when our teacher walked by. He just kind of looked at her.

 

Why?

Question of the day:
Why is trusting the creator of the universe so hard?

I guess for the same reason that outside of the cores of our faith nothing is totally black or white. Relying on God for the unknown should be the most peaceful and non-worry-some thing but it simply isn’t. I pray that God continues to help me trust Him with the unknowns in my life. The farther I go on this journey the more I realize that my faith and trust in Him needs to grow. Why its so hard I just don’t understand? But then if I did why would I need my God? And why would I need to trust Him?

 

Random thoughts

Ok, so I know its been a while since I posted. But I for a week I was without my precious computer. Yep, you heard right Apple rocked it as always and in 5 days total they shipped a box, received, fixed, and shipped back my computer. Props for the amazing customer service. And if you haven’t heard the Apple Store opened today! I am really excited, and can’t wait to visit without my wallet (I am sure I will want to spend a small fortune).

Anyway, once we were back and running, my art history midterm was upon me. So for many nights I trying to study while battling the remnant of the sickness otherwise referred to as AMPLIFIED (congestion, sour throat, headache - it was definitely worth it, but I am really glad that I can kind of breathe now.) So today after……….

10 handwritten pages and 2.5 hours

…….it was finally over this afternoon. I am really not sure how I did. I mean I know I did well enough to pass or better but not sure what I ended up with. So hopefully the many hours of studying Pollaiuolo, Verocchio, Perugino, Signorelli, Filippino Lippi, Ghirlandaio, and Botticelli paid off. (Mouthful aren’t they - I spent 10 min. just writing their lovely Italian names so I wouldn’t misspell them in my essays.)  

Anyway, so here’s a random thought for you guys to chew on. Why is it that when your a kid your mom tells you to clean behind your ears, wash between your toes, but never clean your belly button? I mean they seem to remind you of all the other places you might forget as a kid, why is the bell button left out? Is it not important? Do they think you will be so fascinated  with it when your little that you won’t forget? Or is it the one thing that mom’s forgot? The Achilles heal of the mom manual?! 

 

Lights Out

So sadly the mac glow is no more. Hopefully tomorrow my little mac will be on its way to get fixed. Thanks for all the prayers - keep them coming. I hope it comes back quickly

 

Desperate

So tonight the lighting on my computer screen went out, it started to flicker and then just went dark. We began praying like crazy, I sent txt to a bunch of people to pray. I know it was because of the amazing weekend that took place at amplified. I tried to sing praise, because I knew it was just an attack from the devil. Midterms are a week away and all my notes are on my computer, my logos for a semester long project were on there, all my fonts, pretty much everything. I somehow managed to see enough to backup my files. I knew I could juggle working on school between the computer lab and the library, but the thought of not being able to do my graphics work at the annex was just more than I could take. I broke down.  After copying my files, I then turned my computer on and off for the 7th time. And  amazingly it worked. God answered prayers.   

Then God reminded me… you were so upset and desperate because you would be without your computer, a material thing. Why aren’t you that desperate and upset when you don’t get to spend time in my presence? Why don’t you cry/and miss me when you haven’t spoken to me? Talk about make me cry more. The realization of how much priority we put on things that aren’t that important in life really hit, me. I  truly pray that God gives us a desperation for Him that can not be stopped. That we would make our need for Him greater than anything else in our lives.
